It's hard to imagine this happening in a European country in the 21st century, particularly a country which was once controlled by an abortion-loving communist regime. Obviously the Catholic faith is stronger than any political ideology. Go Poland!

Actually there are quite a few countries where abortion is illegal but with some exceptions. Most of Africa and South America in fact. Yeah but not many where abortion is illegal with no exceptions; Uruguay, Chile, Tuvalu, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Vatican City, Maldives and Laos. And there are a pile of countries that allow abortion only to protect the woman's life, like Ireland yes (de jure) but no (de facto).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law
